Gift the Adventure

You gift the story
They choose how it's told

Every Pick-A-Path Letter brings a new chapter and ends with a choice. That choice shapes what arrives next.
Gift the Adventure

A story that arrives by mail — and goes wherever they choose to take it.

Pick-A-Path Letters sends your child a real, illustrated story chapter in the mail twice a month. At the end of every letter, they make a choice — and that choice determines what arrives next.
No two kids get the same story. Because no two kids make the same choices.
The story is ready. All you have to do is give it to them.

Pick-A-Path’s Featured Story

Squire’s Quest

Henry dreams of becoming a knight — but isn’t sure he’s brave enough. Ava has no such doubts. When the princess needs to be rescued, the two friends set off on a quest through the kingdom of Amberwick — and every choice your child makes shapes where the story leads.

Step Inside the Story

The storm pounds as night settles over the kingdom. Henry and Ava reach a muddy crossroads, sharing one shaky lantern. To the left, a creaky bridge sways in the wind high above a rushing river. To the right, the enchanted forest waits—full of mysterious creatures that come out after dark.
Which way should they go?
Across the river, over the creaky bridge?
Into the enchanted forest.

Why families choose Pick-A-Path Letters as their go-to gift

Most gifts are a single moment. Pick-A-Path Letters turns that moment into months of them — each one shaped by the choices your child made in the last. Every time a letter arrives it becomes a conversation, a phone call, something the whole family ends up talking about. That’s why families keep giving it.
Gift the Adventure
Stories They Can Shape
Kids don’t just read Pick-A-Path stories — they drive them. Every letter ends with a choice, and that choice is what determines what arrives next. No passive reading here. They’re in the story.
Real Mail, Real Magic
In a world full of digital everything, giving a child a real letter addressed to them feels extraordinary. Pick-A-Path Letters arrives just like real mail — something to hold, reread, collect, and remember long after the story ends.
Screen-Free Family Fun
Pick-A-Path turns reading into something the whole family gets involved in. Kids read aloud, debate choices, and count down the days until the next letter. It’s one of those rare things everyone wants to be part of.
Heroes to Believe In
When you give Pick-A-Path Letters, you’re giving more than a story. You’re giving a child a hero they can see themselves in — brave, curious, and imperfect in all the right ways. And a reminder, delivered twice a month, that their choices matter.
My 6-year-old loves getting the mail; and seeing a letter with her name on it lights her face every time. Reading the story together has been a great activity that teaches decision-making, patience, and adventure. We can’t wait for more stories!

“When they got their first letter, they FaceTimed me, and they actually read the story to me from start to finish and asked me what I would choose. It was really, really fun.”

Grandpa of 8 & 5-year-olds
“We love it! Our kids are obsessed!”

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

Pick-A-Path Letters is an interactive, pick-your-own-path story delivered by mail. Each series begins when your child receives the first letter — introducing a new world, new characters, and a quest that’s just getting started. At the end of every letter, there’s a choice to make. Scan the QR code on the letter, or reply directly to your Pick-A-Path reminder text — either way, that decision shapes what arrives next.

Letters arrive twice a month, so the story unfolds gradually — building anticipation with every delivery.

Every Pick-A-Path Letter includes a beautifully illustrated, professionally written story chapter — plus a choice at the end that determines what arrives next. Each mailing also includes coloring pages so your child can bring their favorite scenes to life.

Letters arrive twice a month for the duration of the story.

At the end of each letter you’ll find a QR code. Scan it with your phone and you’ll be taken straight to the choice page — where your child decides what the hero does next. Prefer not to scan? You can also make your choice by replying directly to your Pick-A-Path reminder text.

No stress — we’ve got you covered. A reminder text arrives a few days after your letter, and if no choice is made we’ll follow up every couple of days after that.
If the deadline passes without a choice, your story still continues. We’ll automatically select a path so you never fall behind — and the adventure keeps going.

All Pick-A-Path stories are designed to be kid- and family-friendly, so you never have to worry about age-appropriate content.

Each story has a suggested age range based on reading level. Younger kids love having the letters read aloud so they can still take part in choosing what the hero does next. And older kids? They tend to take the choices very seriously — which is half the fun.
